YM778.TV Chapter 262 - 198: Anatomy Class
After Shentu Dao left, Zheng Cheng also turned his gaze curiously towards the chubby guy.
This was the highest starred special Professionist in the weakling class.
A Dark Cuisine Chef.
Zhuang Shuai was still holding the five Dizzy Eyes Shentu Dao had given him, asking him to prepare a Dark Cuisine dish to show himself.
Noticing Zheng Cheng looking at him, Zhuang Shuai laughed, “So you’re the Zheng Cheng they all keep talking about, never thought you’d take this elective class?”
Zheng Cheng nodded, “Just a bit curious.”
“Oh, by the way, Teacher Shentu gave me five big spider eyes, do you want to try some after I turn them into a special dish?”
Zhuang Shuai looked somewhat excited and a bit strange, watching Zheng Cheng eagerly.
Zheng Cheng said, “No need, I heard your meals are not only nasty but also useless, I wouldn’t dare.”
“How could he slander me just like that!”
Zhuang Shuai said furiously, “I’m a seven-star Professionist! The dishes I cooked have great benefits for Professionist! They are much better than ordinary elixirs and miracles!”
Zheng Cheng straightforwardly said, “Just tell me, why invite me to eat your Dark Cuisine?”
Zhuang Shuai laughed hehe, “The properties of my Dark Cuisine can’t be detected when it’s first cooked, only after it is eaten by a Professionist would it become apparent.”
“A lot of Professionists used to come and taste my cuisine because of my profession’s star-level, but unfortunately, as the properties of the food I make gets weirder and weirder, ordinary Professionists can hardly tolerate the debuff property of Dark Cuisine and few are willing.”
“I reckon you need at least an eight-star Professionist with physical strength to take food from my Dark Cuisine.”
“I don’t know anyone with an eight or nine star-level Profession, and some people who have heard that they have to taste Dark Cuisine have rejected it outright. It’s not uncommon to find someone who blows you up, hehehe…”
Zheng Cheng held a bitter face. While Zhuang Shuai was making the front of it seem appetizing, he was actually testing his food on Zheng Cheng!
On the surface his profession was a three-star Priest, but as soon as he had come to school he kicked a seven-star Zombie General and punched an eight-star Warrior Knight. He was obviously a monster.
His physical strength and power were definitely not lower than the ordinary nine-star Professionists.
Thus, Zhuang Shuai chased him down for food tasting.
For testing, the stronger the physique, the better.
Zheng Cheng considered for a moment and said, “Let’s talk after the Dark Cuisine is cooked.”
Zhuang Shuai’s eyes lit up with delight, he hastily said, “Hahaha, thank you, Brother Cheng!”
“Whenever there’s something new, I’ll definitely give you the first taste!”
“Get lost~!”
Zhuang Shuai laughed heartily and left, but Zhuo Wen asked in surprise, “Brother Cheng, why did you agree with him?”
“A Dark Cuisine Chef, huh? I’ve heard of him, a few Professionists who’ve eaten his food have either vomited or had diarrhea. Two of my buddies are still lying in the hospital now~”
Zheng Cheng casually said: “Let’s give it a try, it doesn’t hurt to have more friends.”
The reason he had refused besides wanting to try the Dark Cuisine was to win over Zhuang Shuai.
Special things are very precious to other Professionists.
But for Zheng Cheng, they are as common as cabbages by the road.
If Zhuang Shuai can use special ingredients to make Dark Cuisine with stronger properties, wouldn’t that be even better?
The second day, night time.
Zheng Cheng and his three friends followed Shentu Dao to the back of the school’s slaughterhouse.
In front of the four of them, dozens of giant lizards the size of a person were lying down.
Shentu Dao introduced, “These are five-star monster Swamp Lizards, rumored to have a hint of Dragon Clan’s blood, its body also has a special ingredient called ‘Black Lizard’s Tail’”
“Black Lizard’s Tail is also a five-star ingredient, it can momentarily increase physique and strength when eaten, but it will also put the consumer in a poisoned state.”
“Your task today is to dissect Black Tails from these Lizards, let me show you first!”
With that, Shentu Dao pulled out a dissection knife and got to work on a Lizard.
“This dissection is pretty simple, all you need to do is remove its tail, then follow the patterns on the Lizard’s tail and go deep into the muscle texture, cut out the strip of meat right in the center of the tail…”
As Shentu Dao was explaining the dissection, Zheng Cheng asked Zhuang Shuai: “Is your Dark Cuisine ready yet?”
“Not yet.”
Zhuang Shuai shook his head, “There are still a few ingredients not prepared, probably needs a week.”
“Need help?”
“Nope, I can handle it.” Zhuang Shuai thought for a moment, “I should be able to have it ready right before we head into the secret realm for testing.”
“You special Professionists are also going for the secret realm test?”
Zhuang Shuai shrugged, “Of course, the testing is the same as your supporting academy, guarding our homeland. But our scores are not the same as yours, probably about a third less.”
“I see…”
“Alright!”
Shentu Dao quickly finished dissecting a Black Lizard Tail, a strip of meat about one and a half meters long with a blackish-red color, like a leather belt.
“Only the center of the Swamp Lizard’s tail has the Black Tail, be careful when dissecting.”
“Now it’s up to you, ten each…”
Zheng Cheng and the others each picked up a dissection knife and stood before the Swamp Lizard.
Zhuo Wen and Zhuo Wu started chopping at the Lizard with face full of bitterness, Zhuang Shuai on the other hand started studying the corpse closely, estimating distance and size with his hands, hesitant to start.
As for Zheng Cheng, seeing Shentu Dao go off to the restroom, he immediately wielded his dissection knife on a Lizard.
Random Dissection!
[Skill succeeds!]
[You have obtained a special ingredient: Lizard Heart Meat.]
[You have obtained Swamp Lizard DNA molecule.]
[Swamp Lizard DNA chart activated.]
[Special Ingredient: Lizard Heart Meat ]
[Quality: Five stars]
[Effect: Consumption permanently increases 8 points of physique, 5 points of strength, water elemental resistance +5, can be taken up to ten times.]
[Description: The most crucial part of a Swamp Lizard’s body, containing the power of the Swamp Lizard’s bloodline.]
“Five-star Lizard Heart Meat?”
Feeling a piece of meat appearing in his hand suddenly, Zheng Cheng quickly placed it in his spatial ring.
Next, he started on the remaining nine Swamp Lizards.
Since Swamp Lizards took up a lot of space due to their size, nobody else noticed.
Soon, he had three Lizard Heart Meats in his hand.
Approximately a thirty percent success rate in dissection.
At this time, Shentu Dao also came back from the restroom, Zheng Cheng obediently started on the second dissection of the Lizard’s Tail.
Soon, forty Swamp Lizards were completely dissected.
Zhuo Wen and Zhuo Wu brothers were covered in blood, Zhuang Shuai was no better.
In contrast, Zheng Cheng didn’t have a single blood stain on him, possibly because he was skilled at using his knife.
“Hmm, well done.”
Shentu Dao nodded in satisfaction, “Zheng Cheng and Zhuang Shuai pass, you two… go rest, no need to come next time.”
“Really?!”
